Material Detail

The study explores the integration of AI in Indian web journalism, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and ethical concerns while emphasizing the need for human oversight to ensure accuracy, emotional depth, and ethical standards in news reporting.

Key Takeaways

The study investigates the role, challenges, and opportunities of AI in Indian web journalism and news desk ethics, revealing a general hesitation among journalists to fully adopt AI due to its lack of emotional depth and potential factual inaccuracies.

AI tools assist in improving efficiency by automating tedious tasks, allowing journalists to focus more on research and high-quality writing; tools like Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) are particularly useful.

Ethical challenges include ensuring the accuracy of AI-generated content, maintaining editorial standards and integrity, avoiding biases in AI algorithms, and conducting thorough fact-checking.

AI-generated content often lacks the human touch and emotional engagement inherent in human-written articles, which remains crucial for effective storytelling.

While some journalists see AI as a threat to job security, most believe that human creativity, critical thinking, and ethical judgment are irreplaceable.

The study suggests that AI should not replace journalists but rather enhance their work, highlighting the importance of upskilling and adapting to technological advancements to stay relevant.

Further research is needed to explore audience perceptions of AI-generated content, ethical considerations, and the dependency on technology companies for AI integration in journalism.
